Supershuttle or taxi LB airport to LB hotel?

[novalab]

Which would be cheaper from Long Beach Airport to our LB hotel (Marriott Courtyard on 1st Street), taxi or Supershuttle? There will be 2 of us.

 

Also, after our cruise (we, 4 of us, will be disembarking in San Pedro via the Mariner) what is the best & most economical way to get back to LB Airport?

 

Thanks for any help & advice!

Here's a photo of the rates that I took in a taxi that I caught at the Long Beach Airport. It was taken in January of 2007, so the rates might be off a bit, but you'll get a good idea of what a taxi will run you.

 

Hopefully this will help you do some comparison with SS! :) Don't forget to check CC for SS coupon codes if you decide to book with them!

Is the $21 for each person or for both. Both would be cheaper that supershuttle at $27.

There were two of us going to the Hyatt. We paid $21 total, plus tip.

Hmmm.... Super Shuttle even with the tip is about $15 less than the taxi when going from LAX to the Queen Mary, but I have heard that SS makes other stops for other passengers, and can take a lot longer than a cab. I am wondering if it is worth the extra few $ to just take a taxi.

Coming from Long Beach to LAX with 4 of people, you might consider arranging for a towncar. We have one for $75.

We did this, this past October. It worked out very well. Specifically, we used Supershuttle's towncar service. I put in the discount code that floats around the CC board and it reduced the round trip to $130.00.

Thanks for all the great information! Looks like it will be cheaper for us to take a cab from LB airport to our hotel:o
